I am an administrator of a family member who left no will.

Customer Question

I am an administrator of a family member who left no will. I have to work with an acting administrator. The TSO admitted both claims. My question is this. I agreed a solicitor to act for both of us. Any information which relates to the process between the 3 of us is surely confidential. If information is given to members of my family by the acting administrator without first informing me is that permissible in law. It is causing me great distress and your advice would be appreciated.

I was contacted by my solicitor that I had to take out MISSING BENEFICIARY and MISSING WILL INDEMNITY. I was requested to choose one which I did but it was £300 more than the other one. I confirmed this to my solicitor by letter which she received on MAY 9th. On Monday MAY 12th members of my family were contacting me fully aware of this which was given without my permission by the acting administrator. Surely this is out of order. I am getting shouted out, and being accused of wasting money. It is becoming so bad that it is not acceptable and I feel that I should not be put in this position through no fault my own. I feel that I am acting in the best interests of the family.

I think you have misunderstood me. It's the acting administrator who has informed a member of the family without contacting me first. My question is this Can details relating to the case be given out without first notifying me that they have done so. As administrator in my own right surely this is out of order.What it has done is that a lot of ill feeling and upset within the family has been caused.

I am afraid that there is not much that you can do about the acting administrator discussing management affairs with others, you may ask the acting administrator to discuss the issues first with you before divulging the information to the rest of the family, but other than to get their appointment revoked, I am afraid there is not much that you can do.
